A few major mistakes prevented Kentucky from completely blowing the doors off New Mexico State. The Wildcats lead the Aggies 35-16 at halftime.

On the third UK offensive play of the game Will Levis failed to corral a snap. The Aggies picked up the loose ball and scrambled 25 yards for a score. The 7-0 deficit would not last. Kentucky went on a 28-3 run to take control of the game, but not without another annoying mistake.

Wan’Dale Robinson broke free for a 79-yard reception, the longest play of the season. Unfortunately, he ran out of steam just inside the five-yard line. On the following play Chris Rodriguez fumbled the football, his third dropped ball inside the five this season. It left some points on the board, but the UK offense still got plenty.

Robinson caught six passes for 176 yards, Justin Rigg reeled in two touchdowns, Quandre Mosely pulled in a pick six and Kentucky’s offense averaged 11.5 yards per play.
